​I had a minor plumbing panic when the tip of my toilet cleaner bottle fell off and got stuck deep in the drain. I was worried about a major clog and called Dr. Pipe Drain and Plumbing. He was incredible— He talked me through exactly what to do over the phone and reassured me that the piece was small enough that it wouldn't damage my pipes. I truly appreciate his honesty and expertise instead of him just trying to sell me a service I didn't need. I’m very grateful for the help and will definitely call them again for any future emergencies!
Response from the owner:Sammy L, thank you for your review. We’re glad we could help you over the phone and give honest advice without an unnecessary service call. We appreciate your trust and look forward to helping again if you ever need us. Sincerely, Dr. Pipe.

I interviewed several plumbing companies for my complete drain replacement project before selecting "Dr. Pipe Drain and Plumbing" to do the job. I was reassured by the respectful communication style of Maxim (owner), and his willingness to listen to my preferences, based on what I had learned prior to committing to this project. Scheduling was flexible, and the job was completed in a very timely manner. Andryi (main plumber) was extremely experienced in this type of work, and was very tidy in his approach. He was able to access all of the original drain pipes by creating "partial" trenches, and working through those areas under the concrete slab, without having to dismantle certain finished parts of my basement. All of the concrete debris and aggregate (stones) were placed in feed bags while the job was being done, which kept the mess at a minimum and facilitated the process of back filling once the work was done. I was given a choice of styles of back water valve, with the advantages of each shown to me. All in all, the entire process was a comfortable experience, despite the "invasive" elements of such a project. Andryi, Ron and Max were all very pleasant to deal with and I would highly recommend this company for any plumbing work.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your business. It was our pleasure to work for you. Sincerely, Max, Andryi and Ron
Adam Shapiro

Sunny Gurm
I highly recommend these guys! A note from my wife who was very appreciate of the work done by Max and Ron:

"Let me set the stage. I am a new mother attempting my best to function on the small pockets of sleep that are offered randomly daily. We were also mostly exclusively cloth diapering at the time. I was heavily dependent on my dishwasher and laundry machine. Enter in a plumbing emergency! The downstairs laundry sink starts backing up and overflowing. Turns out it's going to require breaking the concrete and replacing some pipes.

This stressful situation could have easily turned out to be a nightmare but it was handled with such care and professionalism. Highly recommended their plumbing services! Honest hard working professionals. I was extremely grateful for their help and expertise! They were efficient and amazing. 5+ stars" – Dominique
Response from the owner:Thank you for your business Sunny. Let us know if you need more plumbing services. Sincerely, Ron and Max
Sami M
Dr. Pipe did replacement underground drain inside of the basement for my house with a very reasonable price. They did it very professionally and took pictures during the job for me. Thanks Dr. Pipe
Response from the owner:Hi Sami. Thanks for your business. Let me know if you need more plumbing services. Sincerely, Max, Ron and Andriy
Doug Willard
The work done by Dr Pipe was timely and of the highest quality. I could not imagine a more accomodating group to work with. Max was extremely helpful when dealing with my insurance company. His intervention got the insurance company to make the maximum payment the policy could cover. Without it the insurance company was only offering about 1/3 of their final payment. I have no reservations recommending Dr Pipe to anyone. I will always call them first for any of my needs in the future.
Response from the owner:Thank you Dough for your business. It was pleasure to help you with your drain underground pipe relining project and I glad that insurance company cover almost all cost. Sincerely Max, Andryi and Ron

Low water pressure can be frustrating. We understand: we can become irritable too when we can’t take a decent shower.

Causes of Low Water Pressure

It can be a clogged water filter or flow restrictor. Your house could be in a bad location relatively to your local water tower. Some other common causes are:

  • Water filters clogged with sand and sediment.
  • A clog or kink located in the primary water line
  • Flow restrictors in showers or taps that are clogged.
  • Water shut off valves set to the closed position.
  • Water pressure relief valves that are faulty.

It’s important to figure out the exact reason(s) for low pressure.  The best case scenario for applying the wrong solution is that nothing changes.  In other cases, you could make the problem worse.

Low Water Pressure Fix

Our expert plumbing professionals can assess the situation quickly. We begin by using a video scope on the line to view inside the pipe. It allows us to correctly identify the root cause. This avoids exploratory searches, saving you time and money. We can tell you if you need to clear a clog or install a pressure booster. Never mind the problem, Dr. Pipe knows the solution!

FAQs

1. What causes low water pressure in a home?

Low water pressure often occurs due to clogged pipes or fixtures, shutoff valves that aren’t fully open, sediment in aerators or filters, faulty pressure regulators, or hidden leaks. Dr. Pipe Drain and Plumbing can inspect your system to find the cause and suggest the right fix.

2. How can I tell if I have a water pressure problem?

You might notice weak flow from faucets or showerheads, sinks and tubs that fill slowly, uneven pressure between fixtures, or appliances that don’t work as well. If your water use feels weaker than usual, a plumber can test and find the problem.

3. Is it possible to improve water pressure myself before calling a plumber?

You can try making sure shutoff valves are fully open, cleaning mineral buildup from aerators or showerheads, and checking fixtures for debris. If the problem is due to corroded pipes, blockages inside the pipes, or a broken pressure regulator, you’ll likely need a plumber.

4. What does a professional water pressure repair service involve?

A licensed plumber will examine the plumbing system, measure water pressure levels, check for leaks or clogs, and evaluate valves and pressure regulators. Any faulty components are then repaired or replaced to ensure reliable performance, following the thorough process used by Dr. Pipe.

5. Can low water pressure be a serious issue?

Low water pressure might seem like a small problem, but it can mean there’s pipe damage, leaks, or other plumbing issues that could get worse. Fixing it early helps prevent water damage and keeps your home comfortable and working well.

6. How long does water pressure repair usually take?

Repair time depends on the source and severity of the problem. Simple adjustments or aerator cleaning may be completed quickly, while pipe repairs or pressure regulator replacement can take longer. After an inspection, a plumber can provide a clear estimate of the time required.

7. Does Dr. Pipe Drain and Plumbing provide emergency water pressure repair in Ottawa?

Yes, Ottawa plumbers at Dr. Pipe Drain and Plumbing offer fast water pressure repair to get your water flowing again. They’ll diagnose and fix the problem quickly, so you don’t have to wait.
